hi
I have member area that users have to login to access some links in my wbsite.
I'm using php 4.0 and mysql on windows Xp Home Edition

in my login.php I made script that when the users logged in I check their username and password with my mysql database and after that when the username and password was right I create session:
$_SESSION['logged'] = true;
// that login.php is included in all of my pages, something the p2p.wrox.com,it's in right of my page.

my session path is for example C:\php\session
so when i create the session i put this script in all of my pages
<?
if ($_SESSION['logged'])
echo logout;
else
echo loginform.php

it works when they logged in but when they click on the other links like click on my home page again istead of they get logout the will get again loginform.php (but they already logged in and i create session for them)

i wondering if anybody can help me.

Thanks

maybe that would help you guys to help me

Finaly I found that i cannot carry the session to the other pages
let see
//page1.php
<? session_start(); ?>
<html>
<body>
<?php
$_session['user']= "NAME";
echo $_session['user'];
?>
<a href="page2.php">page2</a>
</body>
</html>
this page will show us the NAME

//page2.php
<? session_start(); ?>
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo $_session['user'];
?>
<a href="page2.php">page2</a>
</body>
</html>
This has to show us again NAME, but it's not

Is anybody know why?
Thanks

You should probably turn up error reporting, and I believe you have to use $_SESSION and not $_session .

thanks for your repaly snib
yes i used $_SESSION but the problem is i don't know why i cannot get session on the next page?

mani_he · October 5th, 2004, 12:07 AM

here is another example
<?php
session_start();
$name = NAME;
$pass = PASS;
if ($username == $name && $userpass == $pass)
{
$_SESSION['login'] = true;
header ("Location: index.pnp");
}
?>
// the code above is in my login action

in index.php page
if ($_SESSION['login'])
echo logout;
else
echo login;

so as you guys know header already send me to index.php and in index.php session works. but when I click on home in my nav bar to go to index.php again, session does not work.

I hope you guys can help me

Thanks

In your example, where do you get $username and $password?

It's from mysql table
But my problem is i do not know why i loose my session on other page, see location after login will be index.php and the login sign will change to logout, but when i click on home (address is index.php) in my navigation, the logout sign change to login sign. that means i loose my session.
i wondering is the session works on the localhost?
i put the path in c:\windows\temp, do i have to put it some where alse?

Thanks
Regards

echo login;

you have to write session_start()before this. that mean

session_start();
if ($_SESSION['login'])
echo logout;
else
echo login;
